CARSON CITY, Nev. — Las Vegas has been known for decades as the place for exuberant nuptials blessed by the swirl of Elvis’ white capes. But for years, legal marriages were barred for same-sex couples. Now, the state that’s home to the “wedding capital of the world” is also the first in the country to officially protect same-sex marriage in its constitution. https://www.latimes.com/world-na ... rriage-constitution | |

A federal judge ruled Friday that the University of Maryland Medical System discriminated against a transgender man who was denied a hysterectomy at the St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson. Jesse Hammons, a Maryland man represented by the ACLU, went to the hospital in late 2019 and was seen by a physician who scheduled him for a hysterectomy as treatment for his diagnosis of gender dysphoria. The doctor was later told by the hospital’s chief medical officer that he could not perform the surgery because the Catholic institution had to adhere to the National Catholic Bioethics Standard. The doctor called Hammons the night before the scheduled surgery to inform him that it couldn’t be performed. Hammons had the surgery about six months later at a different hospital. U.S. District Court Judge Deborah K. Chasanow said that the essential facts of the case were not in dispute and ruled that the medical system had discriminated against Hammons on the basis of sex. In a news release, senior staff attorney Joshua Block said the ACLU is “thankful the court saw through a transparently discriminatory and harmful action by UMMS. The government has no business operating a religious hospital, much less do they have the right to deny transgender patients care they routinely provide to cisgender patients.” While the University of Maryland Medical System said in a statement that it disputed the conclusions of the judge and may comment after its attorneys have analyzed the ruling, the organization said that “we sincerely wish the very best for Mr. Hammons and we support his efforts to seek the highest quality healthcare.” UMMS said the legal claim stemmed from a “surgeon mistakenly scheduling a procedure that could not be performed at the hospital.” The statement said UMMS had offered to provide gender-affirming surgery at a different location, but Hammons had declined. “UMMS remains committed to meeting the unique medical needs of transgender individuals and patients who are routinely scheduled by physicians for appointments and procedures at UMMS member organizations.” One of the issues in the case was whether St. Joseph Medical Center, as a Catholic hospital, had discriminated against Hammons because of its religious beliefs. Under Maryland law, Chasanow wrote, UMMS must operate the medical system “without discrimination based upon race, creed, sex or national origin.” In addition, St. Joseph receives federal Medicaid and Medicare funding. Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act prohibits providers receiving federal funding from discriminating on the “basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex,” and specifically includes provisions for “pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.” However, when UMMS purchased St. Joseph in 2012, it agreed that the hospital would continue to “operate in a manner consistent with Catholic values and principles” and that it would implement the ethics and religious directives of the Catholic Health Services. Additionally, a representative of the Archdiocese of Baltimore would be on the hospital’s board. Catholic health institutions choose to not offer gender-affirming treatment because the belief is that “it cannot conform to the true good of the human person who is a body-soul union unalterably created male or female,” the ruling said. In her ruling, the judge said Dr. Gail Cunningham, St. Joseph’s chief medical officer, testified that she believed she had to adhere to the Catholic directives and so directed Hammons’ surgery to be canceled. UMMS, which offers gender-affirming care, had argued that Hammons’ suit against the medical system should be dismissed because it is a separate medical institution from St. Joseph. The judge ruled in favor of a summary judgment in the case. No damages have yet been determined. The ACLU and Hammons could not immediately be reached for comment. | |
2023年3月10日 週五 下午6:23 （中央社記者林育立柏林10日專電）德國天主教會今天通過重要決議，神父未來可光明正大在教堂為同性結合祝福，再也不擔心被處罰。 德國天主教會在神職人員性侵兒童醜聞接連爆發後，2019年痛定思痛啟動改革，定期開會討論教會的未來，是否為同性婚姻祝福一開始就被外界視為教會改革意願的指標。 全國逾200位主教、輔理主教和教徒代表，今天以9成絕對多數通過決議，3年後神父就可正式為同性結合祈福，至於禮儀如何進行，將由另成立的工作小組制定。 德國天主教神父私下為同志婚姻獻上祝福由來已久，不過嚴格來說遊走灰色地帶，不屬正式的教會活動。 今天的決議意味儀式將可光明正大在教堂舉行，主持的神父再也不用擔心被處罰。 德國天主教會的決定勢必在各國天主教會引發爭議，與會的神學家克雷德勒－柯斯（Martina Kreidler-Kos）坦言，對一些教會來說，德國天主教會的決定將是挑戰。 去年3月梵蒂岡才表示，教會沒有權力祝褔這類結合，因為這是一男一女婚姻以外的性活動，上帝祝福罪人，但不祝福罪惡。 | |

2023年11月30日 尼泊尔西部多迪（Dordi）农村市政当局周三（29日）为一对同性伴侣注册结婚，成为当地第一宗同性婚，在南亚地区也是一项创举。 尼泊尔最高法院在5个月前发布一道临时命令，为同性婚姻合化法扫除障碍。 注册结婚的同性伴侣为41岁的古隆（Ram Bahadur Gurung）及27岁的潘迪（Surendra Pandey）。古隆出生为男性，但自认为女性；26岁的潘迪出生为男性，亦自认为男性。 潘迪说：“我们俩很高兴，村里所有人也和我们一样开心。”这对情侣已相恋9年，并于2017年在首都加德满都依照印度教仪式办理结婚，之后同居，与猫狗一起过生活。 多迪农村行政首长卡夫勒（Hem Raj Kafle）说：“由于有最高法院的命令和相关政府部门指示，我们已经颁发结婚证书给这对伴侣。” 今年6月，尼泊尔最高法院公布一道临时命令，允许同性伴侣在等待最终裁决前，可先登记婚姻关系。 尼泊尔同性恋权利先驱组织“蓝钻协会”创办人潘特（Sunil Babu Pant）表示，这是性与性别少数群体的一大胜利，他们长期以来一直要求平等权利，包括自己的婚姻获承认。 曾任议员的潘特表示：“这是历史性的，同性登记结婚在南亚地区是项创举。他们从此拥有和一般夫妇同样的权利，可共同开设银行帐户、拥有夫妻共同财产并可转让。”  | |
2023/11/28 （中央社記者楊淳卉雪梨28日專電）澳洲新南威爾斯州（New South Wales）安樂死合法化今天起上路，絕症患者能夠請求醫療協助結束生命。新州為澳洲最後一個實施安樂死法律的州。 當死亡成為選擇：安樂死在台灣可行嗎？正反意見怎麼說？ 根據新州政府資訊，自願死亡協助法（Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021）允許病人能尋求醫療協助結束自己的生命，在其選擇的時間服用導致死亡的藥物。新州政府強調，「尋求醫療協助死亡不是自殺」。 提出申請者必須為年滿18歲的澳洲公民或永久居民，在當地至少居住滿12個月，心智健全且對自願死亡協助有持久的請求。患者須經醫師判定為患有疾病末期，且遭受難以緩解的痛苦、預期6個月內死亡的患者。 患者向醫生提出請求後，必須完成評估、諮詢、書面聲明、再次請求、最終審查等11個嚴謹程序。受過相關訓練醫師才能執行。 新南威爾斯州在2022年通過自願死亡協助法，法案今天正式上路。新州為澳洲6個州中，最後一個引進該法律的州。 此前，維多利亞州為澳洲第一個引入自願死亡協助法的州，於2019年6月實施。 目前，自願死亡協助法在北領地（NT）及首都領地（ACT）仍未合法。 | |
教宗：如果仪式与婚姻不同，可祝福同性伴侣 罗马天主教教宗方济各正式批准允许神父祝福同性伴侣。一份新文件解释了梵蒂冈政策的根本变化，教廷坚持认为寻求上帝的爱和怜悯的人，不应该蒙受“详尽的道德分析”才能得到它。 梵蒂冈教义办公室周一（12月18日）发布的这份文件详细阐述了教宗方济各写给两位保守派枢机主教的一封信，该信函于10月份时发布。教宗方济各在那次初步回应中表示，在某些情况下，只要不将仪式与婚姻圣礼混为一谈，就可以提供这样的祝福。 新文件重申了这一基本原理并对其进行了详细阐述，重申婚姻是一男一女之间的终生圣礼。它强调，祝福不应该与民事结合同时授予，不得使用固定仪式，甚至不得使用婚礼中的服装和仪轨。 但是文件说，对这种祝福的请求不应该被简单地拒绝。它对《圣经》中“祝福”一词进行了广泛的定义，坚持认为寻求与上帝建立超验关系，并寻求他的爱和怜悯的人不应该承受“详尽的道德分析”作为接受它的先决条件。 “归根结底，祝福为人们提供了一种增加对上帝信任的方法，” 该文件说。“因此，请求祝福，表达并培养了在生活的千种具体情况下对超验、怜悯和亲近上帝的开放态度，这在我们生活的世界中不是一件小事。” 他补充说：“这是圣灵的种子，必须得到培育，而不是予以阻碍。” 梵蒂冈认为，婚姻是男女之间不可分割的结合。因此，它长期以来一直反对同性婚姻。 2021年，梵蒂冈信仰教义部直言不讳地表示，教会不能祝福两个男人或两个女人的结合，因为“上帝不能祝福罪恶”。 那份文件引起了轩然大波，似乎连方济各都对此感到措手不及，尽管他在技术上已经批准了该文件的出版。在它发表后不久，他就撤换了负责此事的官员，并开始为逆转此文件奠定基础。 在这份新文件中，梵蒂冈表示，教会必须回避“说教或惩戒体系，特别是当它们导致自恋和威权精英主义时，如果那样，人们不是传福音，而是对他人进行分析和分类，不是打开恩典之门，而是导致一个人耗尽了他或她的精力来检视和验证。 文件强调，“非常规”结合中的人——同性恋或异性恋——处于罪恶状态。但该文件说，这不应该剥夺他们获得上帝的爱或怜悯。 “因此，当人们请求祝福时，不应将详尽的道德分析作为授予祝福的先决条件，”该文件说。 （本文依据了美联社发自罗马的报道） | |
了解天主教事務者明白「祝福」都有唔同級數既。 「禮儀祝福」是要符合天主教教導的事才可以。在大彌撒，婚配，施洗，傅油等事上，神父做的是「禮儀祝福」。 「一般祝福」就較隨便，神父不用考慮太多教理。例如祝福一件聖物，祝福新屋，祝福小朋友，祝福病人。 任何人（包括帶罪的人)只要有心向天主都可以祝福。 正如聖奧斯定在著作中說："Love the sinner, hate the sin."。 教宗說的是 「一般祝福」。 | |
但係循序漸進, 按步就班, 行下又一級行下又一級, 咁就水到渠成㗎喇 | |
貴教向來效率低, 係就係慢啲 呢啲唔同級數既祝福，唔係今日先有喎。 係教會傳統。 | |
古巴│天主教勢力大 低調批准安樂死 繼哥倫比亞之後，共產黨主政的古巴近日批准安樂死，成為拉丁美洲與加勒比海地區第二個允許安樂死的國家。古巴議會日前通過規定為安樂死提供法律架構。但古巴官方媒體一直以來低調處理極具爭議性的安樂死議題，原因是該國的天主教勢力龐大。 | |

畀條link佢睇囉, 學你哋天主教態度咁K冇教養嘅咩? 你識咁講就得勒 咁我都俾條連你....掂哂 On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20231218_fiducia-supplicans_en.html 第28段 28. There are several occasions when people spontaneously ask for a blessing, whether on pilgrimages, at shrines, or even on the street when they meet a priest. By way of example, we can refer to the Book of Blessings, which provides several rites for blessing people, including the elderly, the sick, participants in a catechetical or prayer meeting, pilgrims, those embarking on a journey, volunteer groups and associations, and more. Such blessings are meant for everyone; no one is to be excluded from them. | |
